Nice Nano tank....

Over weekend, office air-con got on ?

Temp will shoot up over weekend, be more careful of live stocks..

[bluezing]

yup...office aircon all the way....free chiller...hehe

[jervismun]

Very clear water... how often do you perform a water change?

[bluezing]

twice a week my dear brethren....

in fact i do all the usual husbandry chores fortnightly...

today went office found 2 tiny dead crabs...most prob kana attack by the dottyback?

[Salty_Creature]

Be aware of that bicolor dottyback. He'll bully every new comers even bigger than his size. He's the bully of the tank.

[bluezing]

haha..yeah...but that tomato clown always seem to challenge it 1 on 1...

but they dun disturb the banggai cardinal though...maybe becos it looks real mean...

The tomato clown needs a mate

Air-con room will help lower down temp, but water evaporation high...

How come u had dead crab ? Y not put some sand bed & keep some shrimps..

The tomato clown needs a mate

the tomato's master wants a "playmate"

the evaporation rate still ok. in fact not much diff...

the crabs should be hitchhikers from the mushie rocks...

The dead crab could be empty shell... a result of molting

crabs are also molting?

Tomato is a big fish. I think it's not suitable to pair up in such a small tank.

Get a small specimen... a large specimen will add significant bioload to your tank

[bluezing]

yup yup...how abt a small sailfin tang. saw quite a few at irwana and ahbeng today....

or just a common brown tang will do?

[izzat]

Bro Clar, how about a Chevron Tang

Really small and attractive when they are in their juvenile stage.

[bluezing]

red mushies adjusting well...

[bluezing]
